    LONDON --

    BMG Production Music (BMGPM) has promoted UK executives Alex Marchant, Ciaran McNeaney and Sam Delves to global roles, further developing its core global executive team, following a significant acquisition and growth period for the company.

    Subsequent to BMGPM’s acquisition of the UK-based production music company Deep East Music (DEM) in 2018, it is promoting DEM owners and co-founders Marchant and McNeaney to new key international roles, respectively director of global marketing and director of global production. The executives will report to John Clifford, SVP global–sales, marketing & repertoire. They take on these new roles while remaining responsible for the day-to-day operations of DEM which continues to run as a separate operation to the main BMG Production Music operation in London.

    As director of global marketing, Marchant will establish a London-based department that will further develop the BMGPM strategy in this area, as well as support the local marketing initiatives of all BMGPM territories.

    Also based in London, as director of global production, McNeaney will oversee BMGPM’s new music production in all territories: UK, US, France, Germany, The Netherlands and Australia. While in close liaison with McNeaney, the respective music production teams in each of these territories will continue to manage day-to-day production of the company’s new music.

    Additionally, Delves has been promoted to manager-global marketing, and will report to Marchant. This follows service in the role of digital marketing manager since 2017.

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
